The purpose of this section is to facilitate documentation on IPv6 that the Community wishes to share with the users of the Portal. LACNIC do not warrant in any way its contents, it only offers a space so that the documentation can be published.
The field ‘Total Lengh’which is part of the IPv4 header, is not found in the IPv6 header. Its function was to count the size of the packet payload plus the size of a variable lenght header. As the IPv6 header has a fixed size, the presence of this field is unnecessary.
